I'm building a PC mainly for gaming, focusing on titles like League of Legends, CS2, Hogwarts Legacy, and possibly GTAVI in the future, along with watching videos. I found a good deal on 2 sticks of 16GB Crucial DDR5 RAM that are cheaper than what's listed on PCPartPicker, which is why I didn't include it originally. Given the specs I've mentioned, will I be able to game smoothly at 1440p, or should I consider playing it safe with a 1080p monitor? My must-haves are 16GB VRAM, 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a motherboard with WiFi, though I'm open to tweaking the rest for better deals without causing bottlenecks. Any suggestions or changes you'd recommend?

Yeah, you'll be fine for 1440p gaming. Just don't crank everything to ultra settings in every game, and you should enjoy smooth performance. That setup looks solid for the titles you've picked!
Hey, do you know if you included the RAM in your final list? Because I saw that you mentioned a cheaper deal for it. Just make sure it's good quality, as it can make a difference in gaming performance!
Absolutely, you should have no problem gaming at 1440p with that setup! Your AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and the Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM will handle most current games efficiently at that resolution, especially if you're not set on ultra settings. Just make sure your RAM is configured properly as well!
Thanks for the heads-up! I did find some Crucial DDR5 RAM that’s a better deal, so I'll be sure to update my build with that info.
